Monday Final Nationals: Wizards-Celtics Game 7 on TNT Draws Best NBA Conference Semifinal Cable Audience in Five Years

NBC (7.69 million) eked by ABC (7.66 million) to become Monday night’s most-watched network.

TNT dominated in prime time demos — adults 18-49 (approx. 2.5 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 2.3 rating), and adults 25-54 (approx. 2.6 rating) — with Washington-Boston Game 7 in the second round of the “2017 NBA Playoffs”. With an average of 6.8 million viewers, Game 7 ranks as the most-watched telecast for either a first-round or second-round NBA playoff game on cable since ESPN’s Miami-Indiana Game 6 on May 24, 2012 (6.9 million).

In their respective markets, Boston (18.1 local household rating) and Washington D.C. (10.9 rating) delivered record highs for NBA on TNT telecasts.
